| Pricing note | IFTTT's plans page shows yearly billing by default (it says yearly saves 40%), so paid prices here are the per-month rates when billed annually. Monthly billing costs more; the page doesn't show those prices without switching the toggle. | Prices are shown in euros on n8n.io/pricing and are the annual-billing rates (the page says annual saves 17%). All plans include unlimited users and workflows; you pay per workflow execution, however many steps it has. The n8n Cloud free trial needs no credit card. |
